That game, however, marked the start of some major defensive struggles for New York.The Knicks have lost three straight since that victory heading into Thursday night’s rematch with the Grizzlies at Madison Square Garden.Anthony made a 19-foot jumper over [Only registered and activated users can see links. ][Only registered and activated users can see links. ] with 0.5 seconds left to lift New York (34-32) to a 110-108 victory at Memphis (37-31) last Wednesday. The All-Star forward scored 31 points as the Knicks blew a 17-point lead before holding on.The victory may have masked a poor defensive effort, with the Grizzlies shooting 53.7 percent and outscoring the Knicks 33-4 at the foul line. New York has now allowed four straight opponents to shoot over 50 percent for the first time since the final four games of last season.The Knicks let Indiana shoot 52.3 percent Tuesday in their second loss in three days to the Pacers, 119-117.New York has allowed an average of 117.3 points during its three-game skid.“We know we got to get it going, some kind of way,” forward [Only registered and activated users can see links. ][Only registered and activated users can see links. ] said. “I feel like we all got to take a good look in the mirror and redefine ourselves. We got to take more pride in defense.”However, the Knicks did rally from a 15-point deficit to take a late lead Tuesday after losing its previous two games by an average of 15.5 points.“I thought the effort was better for us tonight than the last two losses that we had,” point guard [Only registered and activated users can see links. ][Only registered and activated users can see links. ] said. “So it’s a process, it’s a process. We just have to get over that hump.”The Knicks are in a tight race with Philadelphia for the No. 6 seed in the Eastern Conference, although a playoff spot appears secure. That’s not the case for Memphis despite its better record.The Grizzlies are in eighth place in the Western Conference as they try to hold off Phoenix, Utah and Houston for a postseason berth. Memphis avoided a third straight loss with Monday’s 105-82 rout of the Clippers.“As you’re battling down the stretch here, you don’t want four- or five-game losing streaks,” coach Lionel Hollins said. “I thought our defense was solid in the early part of the game.”Memphis led by as many as 31 points and bounced back from its worst loss, 118-85 at Miami on Saturday.“I thought we did a great job of playing with energy and coming out here and just competing,” guard [Only registered and activated users can see links. ][Only registered and activated users can see links. ] said. “We got this win and we needed it since we lost against Miami the way we lost.”[Only registered and activated users can see links. ][Only registered and activated users can see links. ] had 30 points and 12 rebounds in the victory, and he’s excelled against the Knicks since they traded him to the Clippers early in 2008-09.

Knick Quote Of The Night:"I definitely wanted to try."—Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony, on not getting the ball on the inbounds pass with 0.3 seconds left in regulation, which was just enough time allowed by NBA rules for a catch-and-shoot situation.

Sorry This took so long. Im watching 4 channels at once lol. I love March Madness! There has been 3 game winners within the last hour! lol.Also check my 2nd mix. Has some Knicks love in it!

What have y'all turned this gamethread into??? I love hip hop and everything, but the above is just wackness.
On the game.. The defensive focus in practice seems to have payed dividends so far. We'll see how the rest of the game goes. If we continue to play like this we should have a W. Hopefully the MDA haterz will shut the fack up atleast until the next loss smh..

Melo is so impressive to me. I don't know if he's more conducive to the system or the other way around. The spacing is just so good for him and his skills own w/in the framework. It's great to see a player of his caliber on the wing in the halfcourt of this offense. Mike D's never had a player like him on the wing and I always wondered how it'd look.
